I am trying to get Paul Vixie's cron up and running. This is my configuration, so, please all you BSD jocks, don't bother answering unless you also know USG ... Hardware: Plexus P/60 OS: Plexus Sys5 r1.5 (System V Release 2 clone) I have the bitstrings package, but not the magic libvix.a, is this the problem? The loader bombs with unresolved externals, two of which are vfork() and setlinebuf(). The vfork() I recognize from BSD land. Setlinebuf() is a whole different matter. So what the hell do I need? A microVax to run cron on? - John. Disclaimer: No disclaimer. Whatcha gonna do, sue me?

One more comment: Running under System V is something of a lose, as this
cron doesn't have "at", while SysV (or Sys5 1.5) cron does.
